Joshua Jackson, 34, sparked rumors of a reunion when he said he and former
on-screen love Katie Holmes, 33, recently talked on the phone. (A rep for Katie
confirms the business call.)

But In Touch can reveal their chat was in fact
about another TV show. “Josh called to see if Katie had gotten a call from James
Van Der Beek to do a Dawson’s reunion on his new show,” a source close to Joshua
and James tells the new issue of In Touch. “James
wanted them to come on his ABC show "The B---- in Apartment 23." But they’re too
busy.”

Though Katie and Joshua are no longer co-stars, the pair are still very
close, and “obviously one didn't want to do it without the other.” But neither
could make it work for their former co-star. "They have a million things going
on in their careers," the insider adds. “James was bummed.”
